Ooh I love the blues! And you look great! Have I told you that I love your hair?
I’ll be spending this weekend dreading the start of school. Sounds like fun, right? BUT I’m also going to the Container Store and finally buying some things to organize my makeup with, which I’m pretty excited for. I’m *so* tired of having to dig around in a drawer for ages to find one freakin’ eyeshadow :/

I love the shadows, they are really beautiful!!! but what happened to your foundation? your face looks a bit grey and lifeless… and you have a really nice color skin ( so we see in you arms, but the face it’s so different even from other pictures !) Mr. Foundation bring Karen back!!!!

Its actually very common for colored people to have darker arms and legs than face. My face is paler than my arms and legs too. Maybe because my face is the only place I slather on SPF at. So I think her foundation is right. If you wear a foundation shade thats dark, it makes you look very dull. Personally and this is not to belittle your comment at all – I think her face is glowing.

Yes Shivotra, I know what you mean, but there’s lots of pictures of Karen that this doesn’t happened, so i believe that with a foundation with a more yellow undertone would be more flattering, and the glowing it’s perfect yes, i was just referring to the color tone effect.

I’ll also be spending about 5 hours praying to the weather gods for some warmer weather. This weather is ridiculous! I want my 70 degree weather!!!!! Why is it so cold?! It’s March people! It’s a bone-chilling SEVENTEEN DEGREES, with wind chill. Even Zena won’t go outside. I need heat. I need spring. I need sunshine!!!

You know what’s really ironic though. It may be colder than a witch’s broom but my allergies are in high gear. Nothing better than a sinus headache to start spring off. Darned trees.

Before I actually read what you used, I would have guessed you used the blue Greasepaint in the collection because the blue is so bright! I thought the black base with eat the colour up, but this look proved me wrong.

I’m so excited for this collection, I just can’t wait! I’m going straight to the mall right after work on the 1st. But it’s weird that they release on April fool. Is that a trap?

P.S. I don’t know if I want to recreate the look (’causeI don’t wear too much bright colours), but I definitely want to recreate your pose in the first pic. That’s just pure fun lol.

Oh wow. You look super hot, Karen! Seriously, I am loving the teal eyes. I’m a little confused about what product brings that color, is it Waternymph or Springtime Skipper? Sorry for asking a silly question, it’s just that I WANT it now, that’s how awesome it looks!

Looks awesome, Karen! Love those colors on you. I am now really wanting to order that MAC Trip Cool Eyes palette.

Hubby has been travelling a lot and is going out of town next week again. So, he’s taking care of the kids tomorrow and I am going shopping for our upcoming vacation. Unfortunately, one of the things I need to look for is a swimsuit, but I will counter that by shopping for some new sunglasses and makeup!

What a gorgeous look! Which one is that shiny lid and browbone colour mix.
ANd I’m plannig to go see the same movie, maybe even today. Almost done at work. (well, who am I kidding. I’m reading Your blog, obviously i’m done here. )

Karen, seriously – what is in the water out there? I’m not joking, in the last month or two, your pictures have gone from HAWT to OUT OF THIS WORLD FREAKING GORGEOUS! You seriously GLOW! It’s not even the makeup, either, it’s the whole shebang.

Love it!, I’m doing a bit of a peacock eye myself today. Mines not as pretty as yours though.
:0(
It’s ok, just need to tweak for next time. I used my Tarte palette in “Flower Child” I tried the 2nd look from the “cheat sheet”
I think mine will be a bit more like yours next time

LOVE IT GIRL – hot! I did an inspired purple eye today inpired by your look yesterday. I busted out some UD’s colors that I have sadly neglected. you may inpsire me to play with some blues I have hidden in the bottom of my makeup case – they are waiting for their destiny to be depotted in another MAC 15 pan palette that I’m planning on buying. Wow, I have so much e/s to last me 2 lifetimes. I just wished I could get the feeling that I do have enough makeup. I guess not in this lifetime.

No plans for me – too broke – maybe rent ‘Whip It’ on demand. I love that movie – I can watch it over and over again. Hopefully next weekend I can catch a matinee of The Runaways. I am hoping Kristen Stewart portrayes Joan Jett respectively!

Wow, Karen, you look HAWT!! and I mean that in a very PC-way!! LOL I’m thinking that i need that TRIP pallete, even though I have a couple of this colors in SINGLE form, it’s nice to have them in a palette for on-the-go!

This weekend, I’m in final PREP mode for Monday’s surgery. I should be home recouping by mid-week. Tomorrow is PEDI-day with some friends and then we’re surging to Target to look for those new brushes!!

Please let me know if the movie is worth it, or if I should wait for the DVD……

oooooooh, tell me what you think if you ended up seeing “How to Train…” wanted to take the family to see it, but the hubbie made a feast of ribeyes, shrimp, baked potatoes and salad for dinner, and the girls wanted to stay in to see the new movie on the disney channel tonight. my life is so glamorous!

I agree with everyone here – these colors are fantastic on you! I am a little disappointed that the Petrol Blue looks so teal as I was hoping it would be more blue. Well nevermind I’m sure I’ll find something else I like in this collection!
